AH moral question

Consider: Someone posts 522 crafted gear on the AH, but the buyout is 2000g instead of 20,000g like a few of the others (as an example). You thank your lucky stars and you buy the item for 10% of its actual value. You suddenly get a message from the seller, who begs you to return them because he missed a "0" in the buyout field. Do you:

a) Give them back.

or

b) Tell them 'too late, that's the price you set, that's what I paid for'.

I personally wouldn't, but thats because I'm a horrible person. If I made the same mistake I'd be pissed at myself, but wouldn't even whisper the person, because I'm the one in the wrong for not confirming my price on a high value item.

I'd probably give him another 2k. I'd feel sorry for him, but it is also seller's responsibility to set the price they want.

Therefore, 2k more. His muckup hurts less, and I still get a bargain ^^

If you add me on Steam, Skype or whatever program/client I share my info for, please write something to identify you in the "Dude/gal wants to join your club"-message. Just so I know that an actual human is on the other end :P

Generally, keep it. If the person in question is a potentially important person to your doings and whatnot in WoW, be nice. Usually, such a significant amount is not worth paying for being nice; but of course, it is a social game, so under certain circumstances it might be.

As much as I hate to admit it, I'd buy it and not think twice. I hate the fact that people are trying to sell 522s for 80k on my realm. The massive amount of gold inflation has pretty much ruined my chances of buying anything other than consumables =/

Regardless of if you have equipped it, or relisted for a profit, there is no moral grey area. The price was set, you bought it in good faith.
Next time they will learn to double check the price, its a hard, bitter pill to swallow and I have been on both ends of this.

I would not give any gold to him, or expect any gold from someone if I put something on the AH for the wrong amount.
